The present invention is a method for modifiying the circadian cycle of a human subject to a desired state including the steps of determining the characteritics of the desired circadian cycle, selecting an appropriate time during which to apply a light stimulus to effect a desired modification of the present circadian cycle, and applying the stimulus at the selected time to achieve the desired circadian cycle for the subject. The light stimulus of the present invention includes an episode of intermittent light consisting of at least two pulses of enhanced light separated by at least one pulse of reduced light.
La présente invention concerne un procédé de modification du cycle circadien d'un sujet humain permettant d'atteindre un état déterminé. Ce procédé consiste à déterminer les caractéristiques du cycle circadien souhaité, à sélectionner la longueur correcte de la période pendant laquelle il faut appliquer le stimulus lumineux pour obtenir la modification souhaitée du cycle circadien, et à appliquer le stimulus à l'instant choisi pour établir le cycle circadien voulu chez le sujet. Le stimulus lumineux de la présente invention comporte un épisode d'éclairage intermittent comprenant au moins deux impulsions d'éclairage renforcé séparées par au moins une impulsion d'éclairage atténué.
